|FOOD|butternut squash 'Caesar' salad

Trying to healthy up our weekday meals a bit so The Hubs is having Ceasar salad quite regularly, I know it sounds a bit weird but I quite like to eat the same meal as him but a veggie form so I came up with this salad and it's absolutely delicious!

Ingredients (serves 1):

1/2 small butternut squash

Olive oil

1 little gem lettuce

Handful of croutons (make your own with leftover bread!)

1 tbsp pinenuts

Vegetarian Ceasar dressing

Vegetarian Parmesan cheese

Method:

1. Peel the butternut squash and cut the top part into thick sticks (cut up the rest and cook for another meal!) drizzle with olive oil and roast for 20-30 minutes.

2. In a dry frying pan gently toast the pinenuts until lightly browned.

3. Cut up the lettuce and place on a dish, place the roasted butternut on top, sprinkle with the croutons. Add some Parmesan shavings and drizzle over some Caesar dressing, finally top with pinenuts.
